When her squad is called out to investigate a decades-old homicide, Frank happily volunteers to \"get out of Dodge\" and follow the clues north to a small town in the Salinas Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere, the evidence unexpectedly leads Frank into the untamed wilderness of the Santa Lucia Mountains where she confronts the victim's daughter, \"Sal\" Saladino. A recluse with uncanny healing abilities, Sal seems as much a part of the landscape as the enigmatic peaks and canyons that Frank finds herself increasingly drawn to. Returning again and again to Sal's remote cabin, ostensibly to discuss the investigation, Frank delves deeper into the land's secrets and her own burgeoning talents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSal reveals new mysteries with each visit, and with each visit Frank is called upon to rely on instinct over logic and to trust the ancient counsel in the hold of her bone over modern reason.
